Usaully i would stay away from links mentioning "The Sun Behind the Sun", but now i'm not so sure....

By going back one day in Cairo to 3rd July 5398 BC, which near as far back as i can go with Starlight, we find Sirius on a new cycle of rising with the Sun, with the Julian Calendar, ancient people must have known about this, look how far Regulus has moved with Precession, on Graph Below.
I'm on the hunt for Atlantis along the 30th parallel Latitude line, as this is where Sirius rises with the Sun.
Plato thought it was fairly near "The Pillars of Hercules", which is now "The Straits of Gibralter", this line cuts very near there:-

It also cuts through Florida which is Interesting:-

Interesting look at new and ancient sculptures under the sea:-

Enjoy links, i'll be back tomorrow....
i wonder if very ancient people had a Calendar like the Julian Calendar???
It appears that Sirius and its dwarf companion-star are shifting position relative to the terrestrial seasons, along with all the rest of the stars, about 1 degree per 72 years.
The result of Sirius not being affected by Equinoctial precession would be its moving out of alignment with Orion's Belt, which, as far as I can tell, has not occurred.
There's something mysterious going on regarding parans that doesn't apply to longitudinal extension onto the Ecliptic.
I've always wondered about these, and of course, orthodoxy in archeology as well, rubber stamps their own imprimatur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprimatur

these hieroglyphs have been interpreted as a representation of modern technology in antiquity, knowledge perhaps given to the Egyptians by extraterrestrial entities
This is longer than an astrological star sign limit, Sirius was rising in Cairo, Egypt, for 2,361 years....as yet i have no idea why even using the Julian Calendar, it's spooky!!!!
Hi Opal,
I'm not an idiot, as you know Opal, but i never did trust or understand "The Sothic Cycle", quote below:-
"
Discovery
This cycle was first noticed by Eduard Meyer in 1904, who then carefully combed known Egyptian inscriptions and written materials to find any mention of the calendar dates when Sirius rose at dawn. He found six of them, on which the dates of much of the conventional Egyptian chronology are based. A heliacal rise of Sirius was recorded by Censorinus as having happened on the Egyptian New Year's Day between AD 139 and 142.[3] The record actually refers to 21 July AD 140 but is astronomically calculated as a definite 20 July AD 139. This correlates the Egyptian calendar to the Julian calendar. Leap day occurs in AD 140, and so the new year on 1 Thoth is 20 July in AD 139 but it is 19 July for AD 140–142. Thus he was able to compare the day on which Sirius rose in the Egyptian calendar to the day on which Sirius ought to have risen in the Julian calendar, count the number of intercalary days needed, and determine how many years were between the beginning of a cycle and the observation. One also needs to know the place of observation, since the latitude of the observation changes the day when the heliacal rising of Sirius occurs, and mislocating an observation can potentially change the resulting chronology by several decades.[3

However the date mentioned above is way out, Sirius is very high in the sky as the Sun rose...it is all confusing!!!!
Graph below:-
Hi MonkMonk, I've discovered a new method for determining the astrological Ages tropically, instead of the universally recognized sidereal Zodiac Ages. The Vernal Point, at one end of the line of intersection of Earth's orbital and Equatorial planes, Precesses in retrograde fashion, relative to the stars, and is somewhere near or already in sidereal Aquarius, depending on how the boundary between sidereal Pisces and Aquarius is set. Obviously, since the Vernal Point is held in place tropically to locate the First Point of tropical Aries, it can't register the Ages for the tropical Zodiac.
The reason I mention it here, is because Sirius is currently conjunct the Line of Apsides, which is the center-line of Earth's elliptical orbit, at the Aphelion end of the line in about 15 degrees tropical . I'm using the other end, the Point of Perihelion, to locate the tropical Ages, and it does transit the tropical Zodiac as well as the Stars. But, the movement relative to the Seasons is much faster than its movement relative to the constellations: It's an approximately 21,000 year cycle versus about a 108,000 year cycle, both with direct-motion.
If Atlantis was in existence about 20,000 years ago, it would have been in the same tropical-Sign Age situation as we're in now, using this Line of Apsides method, with which the Point of Perihelion would be moved back about all the way around the full 360 degrees. But, Sirius would be back at about the end of tropical Aries/beginning of tropical Taurus.
That is, IF Sirius IS in fact subject to both Precession of the Equinox and Progression of the Perihelion.
Hi MonkHi Opal, David and Jup,
I'm not a fear monger, obviously we get bad earthquakes and tsunami's, it is just one of the things we live with, however volcanoes with landslides into the sea is probably the most frightening, and probably what Plato was writing about regarding the alleged "Atlantis".

One of these megatsunami's would cause far more loss of life than the Boxing day Tsunami that usaully were 40 ft. when reaching the shore:-

There are many natural problems that can happen, like the Yellowstone Caldera, but the chances of anything "Big" happening are small, unlike Atlantis, if it existed.

My theory at the moment, is that the Canary Islands could be near where Atlantis fell under the sea, but obviously everyone has a theory so please post them!

Lake Titicacy, could have interesting archeology under tons of rock however is too high for landfall into the sea as it isn't far from Misti Volcano:-
Hi Opal, i will post astronomy graph for Sirius rising with the Sun for Lake Titicacy in the next few days.
Here's a link to the 2 Sun solar system theory, featuring Sirius as a companion to our much closer Sun.

Hi MonkIt would seem to me that using Sirius to adjust the Julian calendar by using Sirius, would be a better method than what we use today to impliment leap years.
How long have ancient people known about this?

I wonder what Secret Societies really know:-
https://www.siriusrising.com/myth.htm
Sirius has an effect like Jupiter and moderately Mars.
That is how it got related to the dog days
The ancient Egyptians looked at the heliacal rising of Sirius to predict the conditions of the year, but Ptolemy advises everyone to look at the syzygy most nearly preceding the seasonal turning for each season. In Ptolemy's mundane astrology, the heliacal risings and settings of the fixed stars play a minor role in the ''day by day'' conditions of the weather (see also Ptolemy's Phases of the fixed stars). Thus, the heliacal rising of Sirius for each location would bring a dog day, all cold factors of the syzygy aside.
''the Dog who brings fire upon the entire universe...''
''But when the lion of Nemea lifts into view his enormous gaping jaws, the brilliant constellation of the Dog appears: it barks forth flame, raves with its fire, and doubles the burning heat of the sun. When it puts its torch to the earth and discharges its rays, the earth foresees its conflagration and tastes its ultimate fate''
''When the Dogstar rises over the rim of the sea, which at its birth not even the flood of Ocean can quench, it will fashion unbridled spirits and impetuous hearts ; it will bestow on its sons billows of anger, and draw upon them the hatred and fear of the whole populace. Words run ahead of the speakers; the mind is too fast for the mouth. Their hearts start throbbing at the slightest cause, and when speech comes their tongues rave and bark, and constant gnashing imparts the sound of teeth to their utterance. Their failings are intensified by wine, for Bacchus gives them strength and fans their savage wrath to flame. No fear have they of woods or mountains, or monstrous lions, the tusks of the foaming boar, or the weapons which nature has given wild beasts : they vent their burning fury upon all legitimate prey.'' - Goold, G. P. (Ed.). (1977). The Loeb Classical Library.: Manilius, Astronomica. Harvard University Press.
